Your Masterclass in Menopause - MELBOURNE - July 16th 

For over 30 years I have been involved in New Zealand’s health and exercise industries.  My original career was as an ICU nurse, however I re-trained in physical education and pioneered the Personal Training industry in New Zealand.  After leaving the fitness industry, I returned to education and lectured in sport, exercise, nutrition and health physiology, and went on to undertake my Master’s studies in how to help people change their lifestyle behaviour.  This led on to my Doctoral studies in the Faculty of Health, Sports and Human Performance at Waikato University. My desire was to better understand how women perceived their ageing and the role of exercise in this during their menopause transition.What I discovered was that our menopause transition is a critical time to change our lifestyle and our health. In a different hormonal environment what we have done in the past to manage our health, energy and our weight, simply may not work anymore.  There has been very little research on the menopause transition, and so many health coaches and other professionals don't understand this, or the lifestyle changes that women need to make to help us get ready for the next 30 years of living we have to do!  I realised that this is the time of our lives that our health can begin to change and our menopause symptoms may become worse if we let them.  I set up MyMT™ to educate as many women as possible how to age healthily.

"When I came across Wendy's My Menopause Transformation programme it was like a 'light at the end of the tunnel'. With a hugely busy job managing SwimWorld, I was so confused about how I was feeling. But Wendy's knowledge about this stage of our lives answered all the questions that I wasn't getting from others. So many women struggle in menopause as I did too.  That's why I wanted to host Wendy in Melbourne and bring her Masterclass on Menopause to Melbourne women. Please come along. You will be amazed what you will discover."   Anna Loypur, Managing Director, Swimworld Melbourne
 
My fascination with the link between menopause and healthy ageing began when peri-menopause came raging along when I was 50.  It took me by surprise.  And when I heard from my PhD participants that they had similar issues, I realised that women in their 50's are forgotten when it comes to understanding what to do to turn around menopause symptoms, including weight gain without resorting to expensive, short-acting supplements and HRT.
That's when I decided to look into it. Menopause is the gateway to our biological ageing and in many cultures around the world, there is not the same symptoms chaos that women in many western countries, including the UK and New Zealand, are experiencing. I was curious to know why this was. And I found that by looking at menopause through the lens of our biological ageing, I was able to put into place powerful strategies that enabled me to change my energy levels, get my healing sleep back, wittle off 15kg and restore hormonal harmony in my aching joints and muscles. All without the emphasis on vigorous exercise and dieting which I tried, but which made my symptoms worse. 
This is what this seminar is about. Following an early career in nursing and then the health and fitness industry, followed by university-level lecturing in a range of exercise science and wellbeing topics, I have combined my 30 years of knowledge and experience to bring this seminar to you. I hope you can join me. I want to get the word out that mid-life matters to women.  And in an ageing world, women must remain healthy, relevant and energetic.  We are often still working and have a lot still to get done – another 30 years of living in fact! If this is you, but menopause has blind-sided your energy, your weight and your mojo, then please join me on July 16th in Melbourne. I won't let you down.
